If you’ve ever wished you could combine the sunny, easygoing nature of a Golden Retriever with the calm, loyal heart of a Bernese Mountain Dog, the Golden Mountain Dog is exactly that dog. This thoughtful cross brings together two of the world’s most beloved family breeds into one large, gentle, strikingly handsome companion that is just as happy hiking a mountain trail as it is napping beside your kids on the couch.
What owners love most about them is their temperament. Golden Mountain Dogs are calm enough to trust, smart enough to train with ease, and affectionate enough to become a true member of the family. They bond closely with the people they love, get along beautifully with children and other pets, and have a way of turning heads wherever they go.

A Look at the Breed’s History
The Golden Mountain Dog is a designer hybrid, so it doesn’t carry centuries of its own lineage. Most of its deliberate breeding happened between the 1970s and the early 2000s. The two breeds behind it, however, have wonderful stories of their own, and together they explain exactly why this dog turns out the way it does.
Burnese Mountain Dog is a relatively modern designer crossbreed, combining the Golden Retriever with the Bernese Mountain Dog. Breeders began developing the cross in North America in the early-to-mid 2000s, aiming to blend the Golden’s friendly, eager-to-please temperament with the Bernese’s striking tricolor coat and gentle, family-oriented nature. Today it’s prized as a large, affectionate family companion known for its plush coat, sturdy build, and good-natured disposition.
The Golden Retriever was developed in the Scottish Highlands in the 1860s as the ideal gundog, patient, intelligent, and gentle enough to retrieve waterfowl all day, which is where the Golden Shepherd gets its friendly, eager-to-please personality.
